Chapter 245 Frank

As soon as the prince got off the carriage, he saw Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi returning to the team after worshiping their father. After nodding to Bai Qingyan from afar, he smiled and invited King Yan and Princess of Xiliang to the post station.

Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi handed the horses to the hostess at the post station, and were about to enter the post station when they saw Liu Rushi and Zhang Duanrui walking into the post station with their heads up after saluting, Bai Qingyan raised his hand to stop Bai Jinzhi and let Liu Rushi take a step.

Seeing this, Liu Rushi not only didn't thank him, but snorted coldly, and walked into the post house with his sleeves and hands behind his back, again in the attitude of not wanting to be with Bai Qingyan.

Zhang Duanrui was taken aback for a moment, originally he thought Liu Rushi and Bai Qing would make peace in the big tent, and Liu Rushi must have let go of his prejudices, but he didn't expect that he still had that sour air of Confucianism.

Bai Jinzhi was very angry at Liu Ru's morale: "You..."

Before Bai Jinzhi finished speaking, Bai Qingyan pressed Bai Jinzhi's hand pointing at Liu Rushi, signaling Bai Jinzhi to look inside the posthouse...

In the post house, the injured Li Zhijie was standing upstairs, smiling and looking in the direction of the door, his peach blossom eyes were full of emotions.

Even if there is a disagreement within Jin, outsiders from Xiliang cannot see the joke, and Bai Jinzhi naturally knows this truth.

"General Bai!" Zhang Duanrui stepped forward with a smile and cupped his hands to Bai Qingyan, "Master Liu was notoriously bad-tempered when he was in the capital city, Lord Bai is tolerant!"

"It's just a sour scholar, what's there to put on airs! If it wasn't for the victory of the eldest sister and the generals, it would be his turn to show off his power here, and he really doesn't know what to do!" Facing Liu Rushi's back, Bai Jinzhi lowered his voice and complained to Zhang Duanrui .

"Most literati and scholars are like that! Four girls, Haihan!" Zhang Duanrui interrupted with a smile, "Four girls, General Bai, please..."

Although Bai Jinzhi was unhappy, he suppressed his anger for the time being when he thought of seeing brother Jiu in Feng County tomorrow.

Before the prince rested, Bai Qingyan went to tell the prince that he wanted to go to Feng County to pay homage to Bai Qingming in the morning. , the lonely are at ease."

She withdrew from the prince's room, but saw Qin Shangzhi standing not far away, looking at her with his hands behind his back.

The last time she asked Li Zhijie about the death of the Dong family, although neither the Crown Prince nor Elder Fang found anything, Bai Qingyan knew... With Qin Shangzhi's intelligence, he might have already found the clue.

Although Qin Shangzhi had sent her a letter, he was the prince's counselor after all, how could he not be for the prince and only for her?

Bai Qingyan and Qin Shangzhi stood on the hillside behind the station, Qin Shangzhi looked sideways at Bai Qingyan: "I carefully sent someone to explore the fire by the Jing River, and there were no burnt bones inside. , so Miss Bai... those dead soldiers brought by Yan Wang Li Zhijie of Xiliang are all Miss Bai's people, aren't they?"

Although Qin Shangzhi has known Bai Qingyan for a short time, he knows that Bai Qingyan is unparalleled in resourcefulness, and he values ​​love and righteousness.

Seeing that Bai Qing didn't answer, Qin Shangzhi said: "Someone, I was once saved by Miss Bai, so this time I only use my strength to protect Miss Bai! But... a certain is the counselor of His Highness the Crown Prince, so you must not look at Miss Bai. The girl fooled His Highness into the applause!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Shangzhi bowed to the ground to Bai Qing, turned and left, and wanted to find the prince to clarify the matter.

"Mr. Qin..." Bai Qingyan called Qin Shangzhi unhurriedly, "Those dead men are indeed mine."

Qin Shangzhi turned his head to look at Bai Qingyan, his eyes full of anger: "Why?! He spared no effort to assassinate King Yan of Xiliang at the expense of the dead and the elite soldiers of the Tiger Eagle Camp, just to sabotage the Xiliang Great Jin peace talks? To raise troops through war? I thought Miss Bai was as loyal as the king of the town, so you really want the people of the world to fall into the flames of war to fight for power!"

"My ninth brother is at Qiushan Pass." Bai Qing said slowly.

Qin Shangzhi's fire of anger seemed to have touched ice, and he shrank back suddenly. After a moment of stunned, his arrogance became low: "Ninth Brother? Bai Jiaerlang?"

Under the dazzling stars, the night wind blew the red cloth belt of Bai Qingyan's hair.

Her voice was extremely low: "My ninth younger brother is the assassin who assassinated the Xiliang Emperor. He was captured alive by Li Zhijie and taken all the way secretly to Qiushan Pass! I have been waiting for Li Zhijie to use my ninth younger brother as my wife when he negotiates peace. The bargaining chip, but the cession of land and compensation in Xiliang, no matter what kind of unimaginable conditions the Jin State offered, it never put the matter of my ninth brother on the table. Mr. Qin said... Do I want to see my own brother in Xiliang? tortured by human hands?"

There is still a son in the Bai family, Qin Shangzhi asked in a low voice: "Then... the ninth son, is he still alive?"

She nodded slightly.

Qin Shangzhi clenched his fist on the side: "But you can't let your majesty know about this matter. The reason why your majesty can keep the Bai family is because you are a woman no matter how powerful you are. Inheriting the title of the Bai family, I'm afraid..."

"Mr. Qin understands the truth, and Yan naturally understands it." She looked at Qin Shangzhi, "So, please also ask Mr. Qin to remember the kindness of saving the Bai family in the past, and keep silent about this matter."

"I am the prince's...counselor." Qin Shangzhi said the last two words very lightly, "and, even if I don't say it, Mr. Fang and Ren Shijie next to the prince are not simple characters. Although they haven't figured it out yet, It will be a matter of time before you understand, especially Ren Shijie... I heard that he stopped by Jinghe on his way to prepare a gift for His Majesty."

"Yan just asked Mr. to hide the fact that the ninth younger brother survived. Mr. is now the prince's counselor, so he should be the prince's adviser. Yan understands in his heart! You can tell the prince now that those dead men in black are my people, and you can also tell me Your Majesty, the dead man in black was buried by the Jing River by me and was not burned!" She bowed to the ground and bowed to Qin Shangzhi, "Yan, thank you sir for sending the letter, and Mr. Xie for allowing my ninth brother to live."

It's not that she never thought about asking Qin Shangzhi to join hands with her, but now that she has not occupied a place in the temple, how dare she invite him rashly?

Something flashed through Qin Shangzhi's mind. He looked at Bai Qing and said, "What do you want me to tell His Highness?"

With Bai Qingyan's mentality, if he dared to tell His Highness the Crown Prince, he would definitely have nothing to worry about... even if there was something waiting behind him.

"To win the prince's trust!" Bai Qingyan said frankly.

"Since you want the prince's trust, why don't you tell the prince directly?" Qin Shangzhi pursed his lips as soon as he said that. If he told the prince that the ninth son of the Bai family was still alive at Qiushan Pass, then even His Majesty would know about it.

Since he followed the prince these days, he can be regarded as seeing that this prince... is afraid of the current emperor, so he can be regarded as a good son.
